Went through a Drive-thru and the guy at the window keeps saying "look at you big money" and "you can't tell new money anything." I kept telling him the car only cost $27,500, but he insisted I was living the big life.

Went to church the next day and one of my friends comes up to me and says "when did you buy that nice Viper?!?!" I quickly explained it wasn't a Viper but a Scion FRS, he then follows with "how fast does it go?"

I would have went along in both situations.

If they think I am boss status then boss status it is

I've actually had a handful of people think it's a Ferrari.

I get the occasional double takes, people wanting to race, and compliments from other car enthusiasts but the best reactions so far is getting the numbers of girls that want a ride

I was driving to New York from Toronto. One of the toll clerks was like "is that an FR-S?" he said, wide eyed.

When I was in New Jersey, leaving a mall...a young girl probably 15 yells from the back of someones SUV, "HEY I LOVE YOUR CAR" ... lol

The first time I drove into the office parking lot I had people saying... whoa since when did you buy a Porsche? lol...

My director sent me pictures of black coupes getting into accidents. Not sure what his agenda is. He drives a black BMW 3 series coupe.

And anywhere you park it...if you're watching from a distance.. everyone that passes by it stares.

Just a product of great design. Imagine if they kept more of the lines from the FT86 concept...lol We would all be apparently living the high life.

People so far have been universally positive. One buddy calls it my race car and refuses to believe it doesn't do at least 150mph. Quite a few people stop and look it over in the parking lot at work.

Maybe he want to tell you something ;-)

Doing 70 mph in Phoenix rush hour traffic I had a guy in a VW pull right up next to me. Thinking he wanted to race I just ignored him. After about two minutes of him sitting there I look over at him, and he is making hand gestures as if he is giving a presentation of my car to his girlfriend. He continued to drive next to me for another mile before slamming his brakes, almost missing his exit. I am pretty impressed that our cars are getting this amount of attention almost a year after release.

I get more attention in this car than my GTR (or rather close to it)....then again this car is white and sticks out while the GTR is black and I got n black because I didn't want that attention haha. But yeah I have gotten a lot of looks in this little car so no complaints.....rather get looks in this car than the GTR though....

Went into a shop (in a low socioeconomic area), came out to find 3 young-uns ~11 yrs old clustered around my hot lava GT86. One of em came up to me and asked:

"Mr, why does your Ferrari have a Toyota badge on it?"
